The 2023 NCAA Conference Tournament pool picks are in and the master spreadsheet is updated with all of our selections! Please look very carefully through all of your picks and if I made an error that needs to be changed reach out to me by the end of the day today, Monday, 2/27/23. 🏀
If you're reading this via e-mail, the master spreadsheets are both attached and located via this link. Click on and bookmark this link as I will update the standings multiple times each day. Also, the blog link is below as e-mail updates will be rare. I attempt to post 1-2 blog entries each day.

Let's get some of the basics out of the way...
I know many of you are challenged by technology and spreadsheets, so I will always have 2 versions of the spreadsheet posted.
- Fun Version: 2023 Conference Tournament Championship Master (This has all the features and functionality to show things like "Accuracy" and "Max Points Available")
- Boring Version: 2023 Conference Tournament Championship Master Light (This will error out many of the added features that I worked hard on, but at least you can still see standings and picks)
Hint when opening: Make sure when you open the excel document you are clicking on "Enable Editing" and "Enable Content" to ensure everything loads and you have all the fun features enabled. If you're accessing the document from the standings link I would recommend downloading the excel file and then opening the document.
We technically have standings already as we have separation based on Max Points due to people that picked more teams eligible for bonus points. Jack starts out in 1st place with 50 max points, closley followed by Izzy in 2nd place with 49 points and BI in 3rd place at 48 points. Evan starts out in dead last with only 37 max points due to picking mostley 1 and 2 seeds.
The spreadsheet will outline your overall standings, Wins, Losses, Bonus Point Wins, Bonus Point Losses, and Max Bonus Points, which all calculate into your Accuracy, Max Points Available, and Your Projected Total; you will always have a clear picture of where you stand.
If you scroll down past everyone's picks, you will see a conference snapshot that includes valuable information about each conference tournament such as:
- Important dates
- Location
- Pool favorites
- Projected winner
- Past champions
- Twitter information
Please look very carefully through all of your picks and if I made an error that needs to be changed reach out to me by the end of the day Monday, 2/27/23. A change can only be made if a mistake was made by me when entering your picks, no going back to change your picks because you realize how terrible they are now. No changes will be allowed after Monday, 2/27/23.
The regular season is still in progress for many conferences, meaning updates will take place on the master spreadsheet over the next several days until all seeding is finalized across all conferences. This may impact your potential bonus points and max possible points, so when you see standings changes with no games being played, that is likely the reason why you are moving up or down in the rankings. The ACC is a great example of this as the top 6 teams are jockeying for position and constantly rotating around the 1-6 seed.
